The World’s a Stage…
The World’s a Stage… As you know, PWP began with an exhibition. In 1975, Breadth of Vision: Portfolios of Women Photographers opened at the Fashion Institute of Technology. It was from that show that Professional Women Photographers emerged. Since that time, we have always had shows featuring our members’ work. Me Generation, Venus in the City, Eye Witness, Inside, and Objects of Affection (currently up at the Calumet Gallery) are a few that come to mind.

But in bitter times we also need to focus on love, hope and connectivity, and photography can also bring us to that realm. In this spirit, PWP presents its latest exhibition, Objects of Affection opening July 28th at Calumet Photographic . It is a display of images that make us smile, laugh, and celebrate.

It Began with an Exhibition…
It Began with an Exhibition… In the beginning there was an exhibition. In 1975, Breadth of Vision: Portfolios of Women Photographers opened at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City and galvanized a group of women to meet, share information and support each other’s projects. It was out of these gatherings that Professional Women Photographers was born. Exhibitions have always been a huge part of the group, showcasing the diverse talents of its members. From the Me Generation at Photographics Unlimited in 1981 to Elegy for Eden at the Durst Gallery in 2007 and the upcoming Objects of Affection at Calumet Photo, there have been many evocative PWP shows that dealt with issues of the time.
